  1. Safety in the Lab • What is different about this classroom and every other classroom in your school?

  2. Safety in the Lab • Do you think there are any special rules that apply to a Science Classroom? • Can you write 5 down please

  3. Safety in Science • How to use a Bunsen burner safely • How do use chemicals safely

  4. Indicator To accurately make an indicator and test how well it works

  5. Acids and Alkalis • What are they? • Where are they used? • How do we know if something is an acid or an alkali?

  6. Telling the difference between solutions- Are they an acid or an alkali? Universal indicator has a range of colours that show how weak or strong the acid or alkali is. strongeracid stronger alkali strongacid weak alkali weakacid strongalkali neutral What is the colour for a weak acid? What is the colour for a strong alkali?

  7. INDICATORS

  8. How can you get the red dye out of the cabbage looking at the equipment I have and the equipment in the science room?

  9. Indicators AIM- To make an indicator Apparatus : Red Cabbage Hydrochloric acid droppers Sodium Hydroxide droppers Test Tubes White Tiles Various different substances to be tested for their pH (lemonade, vinegar , lemon, bleach etc) Household substances as well as scientific solutions (calcium hydroxide, nitric acid, sulphuric acid). Pipetters

  10. Method • Place some red cabbage in a 250 ml beaker • Add 50 ml of water to the beaker • Heat up under a Bunsen burner until the dye appears • Pour 1ml in to 2 test tubes • Test each test tube with an acid and an alkali • What colour does it go in acids? • What colour does it go in alkali’s?

  11. RESULTS

  12. Higher Tier Experiment Write Up • Aim: To test the effect of different substances on the colour of the red cabbage indicator. • Independent Variable: • Dependent Variable: • Control Variables:

  13. Variables • Experiment: • Independent Variable: • Dependent Variable: • Control Variables:

  14. How can you measure the strength of an acid or an alkali?

  15. INDICATORS • Can you name any indicators?

  16. What is the pH scale? The strength of an acid or alkali is measured by the pH scale. Each universal indicatorcolour is given a number called the pH value. Universal indicator can tell you the pH of a solution. strongeracid stronger alkali 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1112 1314 strongacid weak alkali weakacid strongalkali neutral What is the pH of a weak acid? What is the pH of strong alkali?

  17. Indicators • Litmus- • Methyl Orange- • Universal Indicator- • Red Cabbage-

  18. What is the pH scale? The strength of an acid or alkali is measured by the pH scale. Each universal indicatorcolour is given a number called the pH value. Universal indicator can tell you the pH of a solution. strongeracid stronger alkali 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1112 1314 strongacid weak alkali weakacid strongalkali neutral What is the pH of a weak acid? What is the pH of strong alkali?

  19. INDICATOR QUESTIONS • What colour will Litmus go when added to orange juice? • What colour will methyl orange go in Sodium Hydroxide? • What colour will Red Cabbage go in Hydrochloric Acid? • What colour does toothpaste turn Universal Indicator? • What colour would methyl orange go in Vinegar? • What colour will Litmus go in Acid Rain? • What colour will Litmus go in Sodium Bicarbonate? • What colour will Universal Indicator go in tap water? • What colour will Methyl Orange go in Soap? • What colour does red cabbage go in Nitric Acid?
